Began in Kiev court at the suit Ivanyushchenko against Chornovol

During the trial, the defendant was not charged with corroborating evidence of his allegations. This was announced by the lawyer Evgeny Glazkov Ivanyushchenko.

“Tatiana Chornovol attempted to turn today’s court hearing at a regular briefing. In fact, instead of the normal process we have received from the defendant another batch of unfounded accusations,” – said Glazkov.

As the lawyer noted, Chornovol was not given a single proof, in addition to printouts of articles from the Internet and references to its status as a public person”. “Differently from political persecution, to call it I can’t,” said Glazkov.

Also the lawyer Ivanyushchenko said that protection of the businessman is preparing new lawsuits against Chornovol. “We see the court as the only legitimate way to protect their reputation. Therefore, we are preparing a separate claim for each of the charges Tatiana, concerning both accusations of separatism and affiliation to the killings in February 2014 in Kiev on the Maidan Nezalezhnosti. We deliberately advertise their intentions – give her time to prepare for future processes,” – said the lawyer.

Earlier the defender of the businessman declared that Chornovol systematically discredit Ivanyushchenko, and also trying to put pressure on the court.
